What is the strangest thing you have seen at your local dive site? Could be diving or non-diving related.

Last Sunday we where in the water doing a SI and this guy pulls in the parking lot on a vintage looking motorcycle. He gets off and walks towards the water. He has on a pair of work type coveralls and a black helmet with a red crest on top of it. Sort of like what a Spartan Warrior would have on his helmet in the movies. He walks to the boat dock, sets the helmet down, and walks into the lake, coveralls and all. Go out about neck deep, floats around for awhile, gets out soaking wet, hops on the bike and takes off. It was about 71 degrees F air temp, that must have been a chilly ride. :confused:
 
videos of the people watching him would have been priceless.
 
Once upon a time, there was a diver on the bottom of San Soloman Springs (Balmorhea, Texas) standing--in full dive gear, of course--on a set of bathroom scales, obviously weighing himself.
 
I was on my 3rd dive, during OW cert course in Bali Indonesia when a pretty large tourist submarine, with 2 divers hanging on the top feeding fish, hummed by. In a second we went from dive exercises to being the main attraction.

None of us, including the instructor, had any idea that there was a submarine in the area. So the whole experience was pretty strange.

4 nekked women diving-----in BC's only......Summer of '99 , Playboy rented the Aggressor for a week & they dove all my favorite sites @ Roatan, along the north side.....I was not there but my son helped take some of the video & some of the stills for them----(they used AKR's photshop where he worked) & I've got a copy of the video---the stills can be seen in Feb '00's Playboy......Is that strange enough----& that was my local dive site for almost 15 years???
 
several of us were returning from a dive trip and trying to trailer our boat - one guy's winching away, boat is slowly creeping up the trailer - out of nowhere this drop dead hottie walks up - she's wearing a bathing suit (?) made out of one strip of cloth - not quite sure how it worked, but went from around her neck down across her breasts (just barely) down between her legs, up the back and then around her waist...still not quite sure how she made it work...stood there smiling at us ...all our mouths are hanging open...guy's still winching the boat...she asks us a few questions about diving...we mumble some answers and she finally turns to walk away...'bout that time the boat is all the way up to the stop on the winch post...guy's so distracted he just keeps turning and all of a sudden there's a huge KA-POW as the winch cable breaks.....
 
Don't know what the term would be (if they were flying it would be the mile high club) but we happened upon a couple "doing it" under water. We didn't stick around long enough to see if they were successful.
 
Hmmm. Bet that's tough on air consumption rates.
 
Hmmmm (still thinking)...Does PADI offer THAT as a specialty?

(Bet the practice dives are a real hit!)
